Not sure why that account was banned but your post may have been caught in the spam filter. I unbanned it for you. Try making a post and if it works out, I can suspend this other one.

Well, it looks like you've fixed it. I'm posting this from my original stevenjklein account.

I'm fine with your suspending the "steveklein" account, but it does raise a question: What system do you have in place for people to contact you about issues like this? I couldn't post about my problem, because I was suspended. I couldn't find a contact address, but I noticed the site sent me an automated birthday message from jamb@appleinsider.com. Since that was the only address I had, I sent emails to that address asking for help.

Speaking of banning users, I wonder why Zither Zather Zuzz was banned? I haven't come across any offensive post by him... Anyone care to share?

I hope you speaketh true news, for it is good tidings. ZZZ has been trolling endlessly for at least a few months. Nothing outright offensive, but when someone posts inflammatory nonsense just for kicks endlessly for months and months... Well, it's only fitting.

ZZZ is a new account by the same person that was ConradJoe. CJ was banned for persistent trolling, then signed up as ZZZ to operate as a Poe. He's been a persistent low-grade nuisance and continually hanging by a thread anyway. We'll see if he pops up again.

Unfortunately, that's out of the moderator's hands. Even an admin like Lundy doesn't have access to the controls to dial it back a bit.

Is that the reason he was banned -- double accounts? Did it only become known recently?

Opening a new account to get around a ban is a bannable offense, but we did know who he was. We thought we would let it ride because it seemed like he toned it down, at least at first. The obsequious nature of his Poe style trolling just got old. There's been a lot of user requests that we get rid of him, which is pretty unusual, but we let it ride, too long in my opinion, but there it is.
